[edit] History

Evangelica was established in 1980[1] by Desmond Ford after he was controversially removed from employment by the Seventh-day Adventist Church over his criticisms of the investigative judgment teaching. Ford soon formed his own non-denominational gospel ministry Good News Unlimited, and founded the "dissident bimonthly" Evangelica based in Napa, California.[2] Evangelica promoted the cause of evangelical Adventism.[3]

It was published alternately with Evangelica update (library number OCLC 9883255).[4] Evangelica update was apparently published from 1982 till 1998, and also in 1993.[4]

Some of its articles included:

  • Delbert H. Hodder, "Visions or Partial-Complex Seizures?" Evangelica 2:5 (November 1981), p. 35

In this article Hodder, an Adventist physician, suggested White's visions were "consistent with what is now known as partial-complex or psychomotor seizures."[5] A response is given by Donald Peterson, another Adventist physician, which has been posted on the Ellen G. White Estate website (the official website concerning White).

  • Alan Crandall, "Whither Evangelical Adventism". Evangelica May 1982, 23.
  • "Quotable Quotes from Adventist Scholars". Evangelica November 1981, 37.

It ceased publication in 1987.[1][6]
